Unique Women-only Tour to Northern India Places Travelers in the Midst of Popular Festivals

Online, June 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - This 18-day tour is an unforgettable adventure in India's colorful north, including the ghats of Varanasi, the vibrant Rajasthan area, and the legendary Taj Mahal. Participants will take in performances by world-renowned musicians and dancers, revel at the erotic sculptures of Khajuraho's sandstone temples, and wander serpentine alleyways shopping for silk and spices.

As a rare treat, the dates for this year's trip will allow the group to take part in two Indian festivals: Diwali and the Camel Fair. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a spectacle for the senses, and all of India will be festooned with candles, lights, flower garlands, and fireworks. The group will also witness the Pushkar Camel Fair, an annual event that draws camels and their owners from around the country to be admired and traded. This unique opportunity to witness two traditional celebrations is a special way to experience the spirit of India.

This small women-only tour group will benefit from the personalized information of their knowledgeable local guides, who are well-versed in culture, history and religion. Participants will also have leisure time to explore on their own.

Wanderlust and Lipstick is offering this trip to a select group of only 16 women. The cost is $4,740 and includes in-country transportation, accommodation, and all meals.
